Breadzinski (another play on a London stalwart, Grodzinski kosher bakery) is run by Cinderella and her sisters Milchig and Fleishig (Yiddish for meat and dairy, which mustn’t be mixed in a kosher kitchen). Rosie Yadid’s Milchig and Libby Liburd’s Fleishig are a terrific and terrifyingly OTT pair of harridans, scary visions in skintight, luridly-coloured leggings. Both delight in being mean and leaving all the baking to Talia Pick’s practical Cinderella, who seems to relish the task and is buddies with her bread loaves – including Pita Rabbit and Beigel Streisand (voiced by Lilith Freeman) – and even sings with them.
So far so very good, but the storyline is about to take an intriguing twist. Of course there’s a ball with invitations delivered to the kingdom’s maidens, including all three sisters. Cinderella gets to go, despite her sisters’ attempts to sideline her. With magical aid from Fairy Cake (JW3 panto regular Debbie Chazen, in digital form on screen as she’s currently on tour in China) and the bread buddies, she makes the ball, meets Prince Charming (né Charminski, naturally, and played by Ronan Quinio) and, just in time, remembers the strict warning to leave before Shabbat begins.
